Fewer stolen lease bikes
A lease bike with a visible SafeTag is an unattractive target. Every prevented theft is residual value that stays on your books.
Lower claims burden per contract
Fewer stolen lease bikes. Less fraud. Watertight handover.
A stolen lease bike costs you the residual value, the contract and administration. BIKEBAZE makes every lease bike visibly protected and centrally registered: less theft, faster recovery and a watertight administration from intake to handover.
Four ways BIKEBAZE protects your lease fleet
Less fraud on theft reports
Frame number and characteristics are recorded at intake. A falsely reported bike keeps riding: whoever scans the SafeTag sees the stolen status and contacts you.
Fewer unjustified write-offs
Back sooner
27% of stolen bikes with a SafeTag come back. Every recovered bike goes back into lease or sale.
Less depreciation
Watertight administration
One register from intake to handover to rider or buyer. No loose lists, no searching at end of contract.
Less administration per bike
Our results
What BIKEBAZE does in practice
Bikes with a SafeTag are stolen 98% less often. If one is stolen anyway, 27% come back. Registered only, without SafeTag: 5% come back, well above what is common for registered thefts. And fraud drops by 85%: a bike with stolen status is harder to resell. The calculator uses these figures; adjust them if you want to calculate with your own assumptions.
What the figures measure
- 98%: theft of bikes with an activated SafeTag, compared with unmarked bikes in the same period.
- 27% and 5%: share of bikes reported stolen that were recovered, with SafeTag and with registration only respectively.
- 85%: fewer fraudulent claims. The data is recorded before the claim, and a bike with stolen status is worth less on resale. A scan also shows straight away that the bike has been reported stolen, and the finder can contact the rightful owner.

What does BIKEBAZE save on your lease fleet?

Your investment

Example price. Your price depends on the number of SafeTags. One-off investment per bike.
- Estimated annual saving

- Total costs in year 1
- €22,500
Your estimated net benefit in year 1
€378,776
That is €75.76 per protected lease bike, after deducting the SafeTags and the other costs entered.
From year 2: €401,276 estimated net benefit per year
With unchanged numbers and the same assumptions, without new purchase or replacement costs.
Annual saving: 17.8× your investment
When do you earn back the investment?
Even if the number of thefts stays the same, the expected additional recovery in this scenario is enough to cover your costs in year 1. Less theft adds extra savings on top.

Saving = prevented thefts × your net loss per unrecovered bike × (1 − current recovery rate), plus additional recovered bikes × net loss × share that disappears on recovery. Costs in year 1 = SafeTags plus other one-off and annual costs.
